FAAC B614 Manual page 6

6. The Stop and/or Reset buttons must be located
within line-of-sight of the gate. Activation of
the reset control shall not cause the operator to
start.
7. All warning signs and placards must be
installed and easily seen within visible
proximity of the gate. A minimum of one
warning sign shall be installed on each side of
the gate.
8. For gate operators that utilize a non-contact
sensor (photo arm or the like):
• See instructions on the placement of
non-contact sensors for each type of appli-
cation.
• Exercise care to reduce the risk of nuisance
tripping, such as when a vehicle trips the
sensor while the gate is still moving.
• Locate one or more non-contact sensors
where the risk of entrapment or obstruction
exists, such as at the reachable perimeter of
a moving gate or barrier.
9. For gate operators that utilize a contact sensor
(edge sensor or similar):
• Locate one or more contact sensors where
the risk of entrapment or obstruction exists,
such as at the leading edge, trailing edge,
and post mounted both inside and outside
of a vehicular horizontal slide gate
• Locate one or more contact sensors at the
bottom edge of a vehicular vertical lift gate.
• Locate one or more contact sensors at the
bottom edge of a vertical barrier (arm).
• Locate one or more contact sensors at the
pinch point of a vehicular vertical pivot gate.
• Locate hard-wired contact sensors and
wiring so that communication between
sensor and gate operator is not subjected to
mechanical damage.
• Locate wireless contact sensors, such as
those that transmit radio frequency (RF)
signals, where the transmission of signals
are not obstructed or impeded by building
structures, natural landscaping or similar
B614
hindrances. Wireless contact sensors shall
function under their intended end-use
conditions.
General Safety Precautions
Installation
• If you have any questions or concerns
regarding the safety of the gate operating
system, do not install the operator and
consult the manufacturer.
• The condition of the gate structure itself
directly aff ects the reliability and safety of
the gate operator.
• Only qualifi ed personnel should install
this equipment. Failure to meet this
requirement could cause severe injury
and/or death, for which the manufacturer
cannot be held responsible.
• Install devices such as reversing edges
and photo arms to provide better
protection for personal property and
pedestrians. Install reversing devices that
are appropriate to the gate design and
application.
• Before applying electrical power,
ensure that voltage requirements of the
equipment correspond to the supply
voltage. Refer to the label on your gate
operator system.
Usage
• Use this equipment only in the capacity
for which it was designed. Any use other
than that stated should be considered
improper and therefore dangerous.
• The manufacturer cannot be held
responsible for damage caused by
improper, erroneous or unreasonable use.
• If a gate system component malfunctions,
disconnect the main power before
attempting to repair it.
